Tips for float mounting linen tea towel
Posted: Fri 05 Jun, 2026 12:56 pm
I've got a linen tea towel I want to float mount on some Crescent mountboard. I've never done this, and searching online hasn't given me a clear tutorial.
Could someone please talk me through it as if I'm an idiot!
My main questions are:
Recommendations for thread? I would look for a cotton similar to the white colour on the teatowel.
Tips for sewing - should I use a bradawl to pierce holes in the mountboard? Do I stitch just around the edge?
Will the centre of the teatowel sag?
How taut should I make the tea towel?
Thanks!
